Sidari is situated on the NW of Corfu Island and it is very well know for the Channel of Love (Canal d' Amour), a complex of small bays in the area, made out of clay that melts slowly by the sea waves. This are became famous in the 70's, when hippys first visited it and especially by the nudists that use to swim to a small island just 50 meters away from the shore. In the following years the area became more and more a point of interest and the movement of the nudista nd hippies lost its mommentum. Nevertheless, except for the touristic infrastuctures on the area, the rest, sea, sand, sea and clay are still like as used to be in the remote past.
Our swim will start in one of the Channels of Love, and our goal is to reach Cape Drastis, probably the most dramatic shore scene on Corfu island, far more to the West.
Cape Drastis is made of the same clay that caracterises the area of Sidari and Peroulades, but the waves, sea and salt have made their own art on the grounds of it. Actually that cape is a mixture of a straight 250m slime of land into the north sea, while next and parallel to it, another part of land has been trasnformed into a small island of 130m length and 20m wide.
Our swim will end on Cape Drastis and on its small isle, where we will be having our drink refresments and snacks, enjoying the incredible beauty of this natural area that has been left extra virgin.
Lifeguard and RECUE BOAT will provided along the swim.
